Cubic Millimeters per second to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert cubic millimeters per second to litres per hour?

To convert cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s) to liters per hour (L/h), you need to use the appropriate conversion factors.

1 liter = 1,000,000 cubic millimeters (mm³) 1 hour = 3,600 seconds

First, convert cubic millimeters per second to cubic millimeters per hour: $1 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} \times 3,600 \text{ s/h} = 3,600 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h}$

Next, convert cubic millimeters per hour to liters per hour: $3,600 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h} \div 1,000,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{L} = 0.0036 \text{ L/h}$

So, 1 cubic millimeter per second is equal to 0.0036 liters per hour.

Real World Examples for Different Quantities

1. 5 mm³/s to L/h $5 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} \times 3,600 \text{ s/h} = 18,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h}$ $18,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h} \div 1,000,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{L} = 0.018 \text{ L/h}$

2. 50 mm³/s to L/h $50 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} \times 3,600 \text{ s/h} = 180,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h}$ $180,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h} \div 1,000,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{L} = 0.18 \text{ L/h}$

3. 200 mm³/s to L/h $200 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} \times 3,600 \text{ s/h} = 720,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h}$ $720,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{h} \div 1,000,000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{L} = 0.72 \text{ L/h}$

Contextual Examples

• Microfluidic Devices: These devices often handle fluid flows in the range of 1-10 mm³/s, making the conversion to L/h useful for scaling experimental results.

• Biomedical Applications: Infusion pumps might deliver medication at a rate of a few mm³/s. For instance, a pump delivering 2 mm³/s of a drug would administer: $2 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} = 2 \times 0.0036 = 0.0072 \text{ L/h}$

• Industrial Lubrication Systems: Such systems might operate at 100 mm³/s: $100 \text{ mm}^3/\text{s} = 0.36 \text{ L/h}$

These conversions help to understand and compare the flow rates in various fields and applications.
